We booked this trip and requested pick-up at a designated location close to our hotel. We were texted a time of pick-up and given the number plate of the vehicle. They arrived bang on time. The only negative to this trip was that we were dropped off at a busy port and just left without telling us which gate to go to and we had to ask one of the staff. We were pleased to find out that we were on board a proper sailing boat (proper Mamma Mia style). The boat headed out to the volcano where our guide took us up on a hike to the top of the active volcano from which you could see plumes of sulphur in the main crater. We then boarded the boat again and headed for the hot springs where we were given pool noodles and were able to swim in the warm waters. The water appears yellow from the sulphur and we had to be hosed down once we got back on board the boat (our swimsuits were still dirty when rinsed out later). We then headed for Thirassia where we anchored and were able to swim in the clear waters before having dinner. Dinner consisted of Greek salad, meatballs and spaghetti, chicken and rice, red/white wine, water, pastry dessert which, although I wouldn’t consider it a great meal, it wasn’t a bad meal considering it was served on board a boat with minimal cooking facilities. Once dinner was eaten, we set sail again for Oia in hope of a sunset. However our guide then said we were headed to a “special spot” for the sunset with the full sails up. I have to say that, although I was looking forward to a sunset at Oia, I think he made right decision. The sunset was amazing and we watched it go down to appropriate music. Once the sun was gone we headed back to the port for drop off but on the way we had music and dancing and our guide was teaching us Greek dancing. Transfer to our drop off points was organised and we had no issues. All in all it was a very memorable experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Thank you!
My group of nine all loved this excursion! There was a bit of confusion in the beginning in terms of what time to be at the dock, however the host was very accommodating with us and ensured we didn’t miss out. We had a wonderful day on the water, the food was good, Tito was the best tour guide with lots of knowledge and ability to speak multiple languages. The food was good. I would definitely recommend this excursion! Extra points to the Tito and the female bartender on the ship August 8, 2026. Also worth mentioning that if you did self transfer, they wait with you to ensure you are picked up at the end which I was impressed by the extra safety precaution being that we are in a foreign country.
Thank you!

Excellent experience
We had a wonderful experience on the sunset boat tour and volcano visit. My husband and I really enjoyed the whole trip from start to finish.
We were picked up from Oia in a comfortable minibus, and after collecting the other guests, we headed to the boat. The boat itself was beautiful, very well maintained and in excellent condition, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy the journey.
The food was good, the drinks were reasonably priced, and the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive throughout the trip. Everything was well organised, and we felt very comfortable the whole time.
The sunset was absolutely beautiful and made the experience even more special. We genuinely loved the tour and would definitely recommend it. A fantastic experience and one of the highlights of our Santorini trip! ❤️

Best Volcano and Oia Sunset Cruise in Santorini!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Amazing Day on Aphrodite! ⛵️
We had an absolutely fantastic day sailing on Aphrodite. The boat itself is beautiful — classic style, gorgeous woodwork and proper sails — and unlike many of the other cruises we saw, it wasn’t overcrowded. There was plenty of space to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery.
The volcano trek was fascinating and made so much easier by our brilliant multilingual guide, who brought the history and interesting features of the site to life.
The cruise afterwards was wonderfully relaxing, with swimming stops and interesting commentary as we sailed along the coastline. The food and wine were lovely, and there was even dancing for those who fancied it!
But the crew really made the day special. They were friendly, attentive and genuinely caring. When my daughter felt nervous about swimming, one of the crew actually jumped into the water and swam with her — absolutely above and beyond! I also had a tumble on the volcano trek and received excellent first aid back on board.
We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Beautiful boat, fabulous crew, great food, stunning views and wonderful memories.
We would highly recommend Aphrodite — a truly five-star experience! ❤️⛵️🇬🇷
